Cops Busy With Polls, Thieves Set to Strike Big
Deccan ChronicleHyderabad: Police in the tri-city commissionerates of Hyderabad, Cyberabad and Rachakonda have been put on high alert to collect intelligence on the movements of gangs of burglars and foil their attempts to strike at houses, residents of which are away for the festive season. According to reports, gangs are planning to take advantage of the police being occupied with election duties during the festival season and strike big. Usually, in view of Dasara, a majority of Hyderabad residents, particularly those residing in Balanagar, Madhapur and Medchal zones of Cyberabad, Malkajgiri and LB Nagar zones of Rachakonda and also select areas under the Hyderabad commisionerate, leave to their hometowns to celebrate the festivals, leaving their houses locked. While police would sensitise people on precautionary measures and increase surveillance to prevent offences, cops are completely focussing on the election duties. A senior official said that while election bandobast and related aspects remain the topmost priority, the safety of citizens was also equally important and that they are prepared to deal with such gangs.
